BUY

Yield is excellent. Pretty adequately covered (76% payout). Did a really good job in the next quarter contracting revenue growth for next year. One risk is that with budget cutbacks, one wonders how much growth they can have going forward. They have had momentum and a lot of revenues are levered to the US where there are budget problems.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Student Transportation. Making too many acquisitions. Can’t manage their debt or payout.

DON'T BUY

Because of the strong quest for yield, stock has become overpriced. There will come a point when they have to decide if they are going to grow or cut the yield to finance growth.

DON'T BUY

Student transportation. Not negative on this but there are better places for income right now.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Good solid name.

DON'T BUY

Yield is probably sustainable. Strong cash flow but a lot of that comes from depreciation of fixed assets rather than amortization of tangible assets.

BUY

4th or 5th largest student transportation company in North America. Recession resistant. Just made an acquisition of the Sudbury student buses. Doesn't see a lot of upside but it has a very nice, safe yield of 10.3%.

BUY

Convertible debenture. He thinks it is a good bond. Likes the company. Chart is not too bad. It’s a bit choppy because of the low activity.

COMMENT

Good defensive play by getting a little expensive. Expects they will have to issue units to sustain their growth. Attractive yields.

DON'T BUY

School bus transportation. Can have cost overruns with maintenance and fuel costs that they try to pass through as much as possible. He owns their convertible debentures, which is a better way to play it.

BUY

School bus company. Nominally a Canadian company but vast majority of operations are in the US. Very high payout so doesn't expect dividend growth. Analyst statement they are not properly depreciating school buses was in error as they lease, not buy buses. Will have good steady growth and do lots of equity issues as it grows.

BUY

School buses. Very well run. Yield of about 12% is very sustainable. Have long-term contracts with a lot of the school boards both in Canada and the US. Not huge growth potential.

BUY

It has become a corporation, dividend is 12% yield. It will not grow, nor be cut. He likes it very much. This is an under followed stock with great potential.

SELL

Had several issues in the past dealing with debt but have recently resolved some of that. Worries about some of the US states that have laid off 53,000 teachers. Cutbacks could also occur in bussing.

HOLD

One of the largest providers of school buses in NA. Great opportunities of synergies. Reasonable.
